I took my new Norico clone of the SIG 228 to the range. Very pleased. Excellent trigger, right out of the box and excellent sight picture. Accuracy was good, but not great. Will do some load development.
I was shocked at how light it is. I shot my Browning HP as a control. It has been tuned up with an excellent trigger and target sights. Both pistols are in 9mm, but the Browning felt much heavier.
When I got home I measured them. Results were surprising, so I weighed a few other guns, just to get a feel for what differnt guns weigh (empty).
Pounds and ounces.
Colt 1911 2-9
Browning HP 9mm 2-0
